Reflection on my Time in Dublin

It is hard to believe but my time in Dublin and on this program has officially come to an end. It feels like just yesterday I was on the flight to Dublin extremely excited for the upcoming 8 weeks but also very nervous. I was nervous about all sorts of things. What if I go…

Week 8 – Final Week in Dublin

As my internship wraps up, I’ve been thinking about what success looks like here in Ireland compared to back home. One thing that stood out to me is that in Ireland, being good at your job isn’t just about how much work you get done. It’s also about how you carry yourself and how well…

Week 7 – Communication Differences and Paris
